Good Morning

Meet today's card.

I've been working to get some cards tucked away before the holidays arrive....time is going so fast!

I'm using this newly released stencil called BLAM from A Colorful Life Designs to make a non-traditional looking Christmas card. 

I had fun playing with it.

So here's what I did to create my card.

• I laid a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and then placed the Blam stencil over that.
• I inked up the stencil with some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink, covering the white cardstock.
• Next, I moved the stencil slightly and inked again with some Prize Ribbon DOX ink, pressing lightly as not to overpower the first inking.
• I thought it needed something more, so I pulled out the Grunge Tones stamp set and stamped it over just the stars with more of the same DOX ink to add more interest.
• There was some ink left on the stencil, so I sprayed it with some water and pressed it onto another piece of white cardstock to use as the background for my sentiment circle.
• When that was dry, I die cut a circle using it, then placed it into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  I glued that onto another plain, white circle that was a little larger.
• I glued the finished panel onto an A2 card base and pop dot mounted the circle sentiment over that.

Here are the stencils I used:
